HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If you are getting the injection on schedule then the chance of conception is low.

There are many women who do not have a period at all when using depo but if you normally have a period then you may need to consider a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.

This tests can detect pregnancy by day 11 to 14 after conception.

I hope this helps
